Famous quotes containing the words members of, members and/or parliament:

    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Jesus, Buddha, Mahommed, great as each may be, their highest comfort given to the sorrowful is a cordial introduction into another’s woe. Sorrow’s the great community in which all men born of woman are members at one time or another.
    Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.
